Cure for Colds,

Many persons tase cold by having cold
feet, and to these the cold douche TO the feet
Is a most effective cure. 1t stimulates the
nerves and arteries of the feet and produces a
brisk reaction of warmth A single applica-
tion will sometimes set cold feet glowing that
have not been warm for a whole winter.
Often it will entirely cure tho life long aff1ic-
ton of cold feet. The colder the water the
better; and if one has not the convenience of
douche it will serve very well to stand in a
tub or basin, filled to six inches deep with the
coolest water at command The warm reac-
ton is essential.-Harpers Bazaar.
